At Exadel, which spans 17 countries worldwide, we speak many languages—both human and programming. But for many of our developers, one of them holds a special place in their hearts.
Whether it’s the first one they learned or the one that shaped their careers, their Mother Programming Language is part of their roots, their logic, and their syntax.
Mother Programming Language
To celebrate International Mother Language Day, we asked our team “What do you love about your mother programming language?”
🌐 .NET kids proudly claim it’s the most structured and supportive parent – always providing strong types and a safe environment.
🌐 Java enthusiasts say it’s the wise and disciplined mother – strict bt portable, making sure they can thrive anywhere.
🌐JavaScript lovers know their mother tongue is wild, flexible, and full of surprises – but hey, that’s what makes life fun!
Javascript
Anna Barmina, Software Engineer
My “Mother” programming language is Javascript. It can be a little weird and unpredictable at times, but that’s part of its charm: I mean, “2” – 1 gives you 1, but “2” + 1 somehow results in “21”. Logical? Well, not quite. But that’s what makes it so special!
What I love most is the freedom it gives you. There’s never just one way to solve a problem - JavaScript lets you choose your own path. Not to mention that we run into JavaScript every single day on the internet – it’s everywhere! And with such an amazing community, you’re never walking that path alone.

-C#
Tamuna Simonishvili, Senior Software Engineer, Exadel Georgia
I love C# because it’s like the superhero of programming languages: powerful, reliable, and always ready to save the day!
With its clean syntax, rich libraries, and seamless integration with the .NET ecosystem, building apps feels effortless. Whether you’re working on web apps, desktop software, or games, C# always gives you the right tools you need to get the job done.
C# was named after the musical note C-Sharp, because its creators wanted it to be as smooth and precise as a musical scale. Guess what? It definitely hits the right notes every time!

-Java
Anton Ahinski, Associate Software Engineer, Exadel Poland
I admire my “mother” language for being powerful, reliable, and widely used. I love Java for its platform independence, which means programs can run on different systems without changes.
Java has rich libraries that make development easier, but what truly makes it special is its remarkable versatility. Its adaptability and strength make it a top choice for a diverse range of projects across industries.

-Tamasz Flesch, Lead Software Engineer, Exadel Hungary
Although other languages may be faster or better at specific tasks, Java is one of the greatest for not only development but also maintenance, such as following clean code principles.
I've been using Java for my entire career, and it can be used to produce almost anything!
Tamasz Flesch, Lead Software Engineer, Exadel Hungary
-C
Mikalai Zapolski, Lead Software Engineer, Exadel Poland
My “mother” language, C, teaches you not just to write code but to understand why it works the way it does. And that makes you a cool developer. Knowing C is like unlocking the next level of understanding. You start grasping how everything really works, not just how it’s shown to you in high-level languages.
Even if you're coding in something like C# or Python, you already know what's happening under the hood, and you can work effectively with any abstractions. You just can't be fooled because you’re already in the know!

-Engineering Excellence, No Matter the Language
No matter which programming language shaped you, one thing is certain: engineering is more than just writing code – it’s about community, learning, and building something bigger than ourselves. At Exadel, we celebrate the diverse tech roots of our developers and the strong engineering culture that unites us all.
The Exadel Engineering Community is a global hub uniting our engineers across the globe, empowering them with:
→ Global networking
→ Knowledge-sharing & skill-building
→ Mentorships from top experts
→ Recognition for active contribution
If you’re passionate about coding, problem-solving, and sharing knowledge, we’d love to have you join our tech communities, where ideas, innovation, and collaboration thrive.
